Let us bless you, O highest God and Lord of mercy, who always does great and unexplored, glorious and terrible things to us, countless in number, giving us sleep to repose our weakness and weaken the labors of the arduous flesh. We thank Thee, for Thou didst not destroy us with our iniquities, but Thou didst usually love mankind, and in desperation, Thou didst raise us up to glorify Thy power. We also pray for Your immeasurable goodness, enlighten our thoughts, clear our eyes, and raise our minds from the heavy sleep of laziness; open our lips, and fulfill Your praise, so that we may unwaveringly sing and confess to You, in all, and from all, the glorified God, the Beginning Father, with Your Only Begotten Son, and Your All-Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
We bless you - we praise you (the word bless in the Church Slavonic language, following the Greek, means not only the usual priestly or parental blessing, but also a generally good word - praise). Unexplored - incomprehensible (let us remember - this was said in the note to the prayer “To the Heavenly King” - that in the Church Slavonic language in the generalized meaning of a noun adjectives of the neuter plural are used: great and unexplored, glorious and terrible, there are no number of them - great and incomprehensible, glorious and terrible without number). Usually - as always, as You always do. We lie in despair - we, sleeping (in our sleep, not aware of the surrounding reality). In the hedgehog - so that (note: this is why, why the Lord awakened us from sleep!). Power is strength, power, subject area (that is, the whole world of God). If I fulfill them, fill them.
+ Note the similarity of this prayer with the morning prayer to the Most Holy Trinity. You can compare these two prayers. Please note that the prayer to the Most Holy Trinity is constructed in the singular (addressed to God from “I”), and the prayer of St. Basil the Great is constructed in the plural (from “we”). The prayer rule wisely alternates between prayers with “I, me”—such, for example, are all the prayers of St. Macarius the Great—and prayers in the plural (“we, us”), an example of which is primarily the Lord’s Prayer. This teaches a Christian to constantly pray for his neighbors, the Church and the whole world of God and at the same time never pray abstractly, “in general” - not to forget about the desperate state of his own soul.
